Things Cyclists Hate #6: SQUEAKS, CREAKS and RATTLES

Guaranteed to drive you crazier than a Western Sydney Wanderers fan at finals time.

You spend gazillions on your bike. Yet it still squeaks and rattles. You pull it apart, clean it and reassemble it piece by piece. Yet it still squeaks and rattles. You smother every join and crevice you can find in oil, carbon paste and WD40. Yet it still squeaks and rattles.

Then one day, for no apparent reason whatsoever, it stops. Leaving you none the wiser.
